PHP is worth learning and using

OP is correct, you still can develop like this with PHP, and no the ship has not sailed for many.

You can have deployment pipelines etc, but if you like, you can still develop the ancient way - it still works.

Well I can still develop like this in ASP.NET if I wanted to and probably and many other languages/frameworks too, so it's not exactly unique.

apt-get install libapache2-mod-python

Now you can put .py files into your www folder, like .php files.

Sure, but would you have that in production for the company you work for?

One can also use old school CGI to serve their site, it’s super lightweight and you just upload the file at the right place, for almost any language. But that has been deprecated for the last 2 decades now.

Odd, I'm getting Perl/CGI gigs still. I should tell them to rewrite to...what's cool now?

I see a number artisans managing their business on pen and paper, and handwrite receipts.

It works for them, but I wont tell random people starting a business now to go with pen and paper, 99% of the time that would be a bad advice when there are much much better alternatives now.
